Where do I go to find that!?
ETA: Jungle Jim's Weekend of Fire
If only I could find a way to get there!

Probably not in the same league as Jungle Jim's weekend event, but there's something on in London this weekend

Recently joined the hot sauce fan club. Current collection consists of:
Original Tabasco: Don’t really use this much TBH any more.
Tabasco Chipotle: Lovely smoky BBQ sauce, great on pizza , nice mild heat.
Tabasco Habanero: Really tasty sauce, surprisingly hot for a supermarket sauce. Small bottle that fits perfectly in my work bag so instant portable pepper
Encona Hot Pepper Sauce: Quite nice, medium heat but I find it quite salty and I’ve gone off it since the arrival of:
Blair’s Original Death: Very very nice. Not as hot as I expected (on a par with Tabasco Habanero) but probably better as a condiment that you can use more of. Looking forward to exploring further up the heat range
Dave’s Insanity Sauce: Doesn’t taste great but bloody hot. Had half a teaspoon when it arrived yesterday and spent the next twenty minutes looking emotional. Going to use thie mainly as something to warm up chillis etc when I cook a bit quantity.
One thing I have noticed is that my tolerance has grown rapidly – from finding Tabasco Habanero almost unbearably hot I can now shake a load in sandwiches etc and enjoy it.

What's the point of a hot sauce actually?
Shouldn't the sauce add an extra dimension rather than reduce it?
I can understand it in 19th India where the meat might have been slightly tainted by the sun so you needed to disguise this but in 21st century Britain spices should be sophisticated to give the food a slant rather than just burn your mouth off whilst presumably making the ladies say, "ooh, what a beefcake" .
Mind you I am getting old and a bit of a fuddy duddy.

Depends how much heat you can take.Shouldn't the sauce add an extra dimension rather than reduce it?

Some can have it really hot but still taste the food in a way that makes the sauce complement it.
For others it destroys it, along with their mouths.

Look back to the first post - I was looking for more hot sauces that have a blend of heat and flavour. Personally the million scoville+ sauces don't do it for me, but those that combine rounded flavour with a kick of heat are utterly addictive!
just finished a bottle of Extra Extra hot Nando's (which wasnt that hot but very flavoursome), and I've had a few this last year which I would rate.
Holy Cow Hot Garlic was nice with a moderate heat
Trees Can't Dance was pretty tasty too, although I wouldnt say it was a stand out sauce in any way
Chilli Devil Garlic Lemon and Chilli was excellent and different from the usual. Would really recommend this one with some decent heat too.
But just had that Kick Ass sauce from the Hot Chilli Company
At first it looked fairly benign against the heavily seeded Nando's sauce, and resultingly shovelled a decent scoop down with my food.
Nothing at first, but then a heat bomb exploded in my mouth and I couldnt keep pace with the building heat! 6.4 million scoville extract might have something to do with it!
Im good with heat, but this one really impressed. Probably the hottest i've tried to date, nothing has come anywhere as close that, it had my eyes and nose running! Anyone found anything hotter?

I do really like the flavour of this one though, I bought a bottle of it once I became accustomed to eating naga sauce on my food. While I prefer Habanero sauces, I like to get this Naga one out now and then, must be used very sparingly though! The only thing I've got in my cupboard at the moment which is comparable is Dave's Insanity sauce. After eating some of that I really do feel like a chilli sunbathing on the beach, just like the one on the bottle.

Update on this - bought a bottle of Cholula and Sriracha yesterday. The Sriracha (from Tesco) was foul muck and is going straight in the bin. The Cholula was quite nice - spicy in a flavour sense but not very hot. Handy addition but I don't seemyself using a lot of it. I ended up chopping up sonme birds eye chillis on my sandwich which gave me what I was after.Original Tabasco: Don’t really use this much TBH any more.

Off to HotHeadz to get some more Blair's sauces - I need another bottle of Original death and I think I'll go for the After Death too - want something a bit hotter but that it still tasty.
